Lately, many people have been receiving emails about a settlement involving Walgreens. These emails, titled “Important Legal Notice of Settlement,” come from addresses like help@mg.abdatclassaction.com and mention a website called SavingsClubSettlement.com.
While the emails might seem suspicious at first, this settlement is real and involves Walgreens.
What is the Walgreens Savings Club Settlement?
The settlement comes from a lawsuit against Walgreens about how they priced prescriptions in their Prescription Savings Club.
The lawsuit says Walgreens didn’t include Savings Club prices when setting their “usual and customary” prices for insurance claims.
Walgreens denies doing anything wrong but agreed to pay $100 million to settle the case instead of going through a long court process.
If you bought prescription drugs at Walgreens between January 1, 2007, and November 18, 2024, you might be eligible to get a payout.
You can file a claim on the official website, but don’t expect a big payout. Most people will get between $5 and $25, depending on how many claims are submitted.
To avoid scams, make sure the email or website is legit.
Use the official contact information, like the verified website and phone number, to confirm any communication.
Our Opinion
If you qualify, this is a good chance to get some money back.
However, the payouts will likely be small since class-action lawsuits usually involve high legal and admin costs.
Always stay cautious—scammers often send fake emails pretending to be part of real settlements to steal personal information.
Verify emails by checking the domain name (abdatclassaction.com) and the website (SavingsClubSettlement.com), which are both linked to the real settlement.
Filing a claim is easy on the official website, but the process can take a long time. Don’t expect to see money right away.
It could take months or even years to get your payout.
What to Do If You Get Scammed
Scammers might use fake emails to trick you. If you think you’ve been targeted:
- Report the email to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or your local consumer protection office.
- Don’t share sensitive information like your Social Security number or banking details with unknown senders.
- Contact the settlement administrator directly using the verified information to check if the email is real.
